Suinami carried her long skirt upstairs, and Gray Hara also lifted the hem of her skirt.

Led by her, Fujino came to a door next to the stairs on the second floor.

It was a large white wooden door with delicate carvings and some gray decorations.

"Minaho and I are going to help you pick up your luggage."

Honami politely bowed, "Before that, please wait for a while in Teacher Su Fang's masquerade collection room." ”

"I'm sorry for your trouble, Miss Honami."

Fujino also replied politely, and then pushed the door open, and was greeted by a palatial room.

The room is located in the middle of the mansion villa on the left and right, and there are many glass display cases inside, and the surrounding walls are obscured by a large red curtain.

There are all kinds of weird masks on display in the display case, and there are even Wu dance masks that are only required to be worn during ghost dancing in China.

This old lady is not a picky eater.

Even this kind of mask dares to collect.

Fujino felt a little speechless.

'These masks, they should be expensive, right?' ’

Gray Plains looked around, looking a little puzzled.

If it is an ordinary local tyrant, it is nothing, but Su Fanghongzi, who takes charity as her career, should not be so rich......

"Well, Detective Fujino?"

At this moment, a startling sound came.

Fujino turned his head to look and saw several people who had just separated walking in through the door on the other side of the villa.

Masaki Katagiri and Mamoru Matsudaira looked a little surprised.

Haruka Nagara is still calm.

She walked around the booth, thoughtfully examining the strange masks in the display case.

At this time, she had already removed her coat, revealing the long purple dress she wore underneath.

The collarbones, elbows, and waist are all decorated with gold patterns, making it look a little mysterious, and it is even more intense.

It feels like a witch like Koizumi Hongko......

Well, a bit of a middle two.

However, it seems that the witches in the Kexue world seem to be in this style.

Retracting his thoughts, Fujino stepped forward and said tentatively towards Haruka Nagara, "Miss Nagara, the bad premonition you just said, could it be these masks?" ”

"Although there is an air of evil to these faces...... But it shouldn't be. ”

Haruka Nagara shook her head and said in a deep voice, "Compared to these masks, the evil aura behind those curtains is even stronger than these masks. ”

"Evil breath?"

Gray Yuan Ai followed behind Fujino, and when he heard this, he also looked curiously at the red curtain around him.

Fujino was thoughtful, after all, in his memory, behind the red curtain, there was another little black murder weapon, two hundred curse masks......

And let the soothsayer guess correctly.

"Welcome to the Humble House."

At this time, Su Fanghongzi walked into the collection room.

She was smiling and dressed as before.

Behind her, there is also the current assistant, Kazuyo Inada.

"Excuse me, are these all your collection of masks?"

Haruka Nagara turned her head and asked curiously.

"Well, I've collected these masks over the years, what do you think?"

Su Fanghongzi talked about the collected masks, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Forehead ......"

Everyone present didn't know how to answer for a while, and some were speechless.

After all, this hobby of collecting horror masks......

It's a bit niche, indeed.

"Miss Su Fang, what's behind those curtains?"

At this time, Haruka Nagara suddenly asked, "Could it be a mask too?" ”

"yes, those are my most satisfying collections......"

As she spoke, Su Fanghongzi walked to the side of the display case and pressed a button, "Legend has it that two hundred masks were made by the Spanish sculptor Cabrum Gontillas before his death. ”

When everyone looked back, they saw that the red curtains on both sides of the room had suddenly been pulled apart.

Behind the curtain were rows of wooden shelves, on which were placed two hundred masks of the same style, and the white masks had a strange smile carved on their faces, which looked a little terrifying.

"Shawbru ......"

Haruka Nagara suddenly remembered something, "Is it a cursed mask?" ”

"Cursed Mask?!"

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this, recalling the appearance of Nagara Haruka pretending to be a ghost just now, and couldn't help but feel a chill down their backs.

"Chaublu was a tragic sculptor who, despite his great talents, was framed by his brother...... Status, reputation, property, all taken away. ”

Seeing everyone's reactions, Su Fanghongzi introduced his collection with some pride, "After that, Xiao Bulu became extremely distrustful of humans, he locked himself in his room to make a mask, as if he was possessed by something, and he committed suicide after making the two hundredth masks...... The masks scattered around the corpses were stained with blood, as if they had been sucked dry by the masks. ”

"After that, Chaublu was restored to his reputation, and the masks became an expensive collection, moving around in the hands of many ......"

Haruka Nagara glanced around at the white masks around her, "But most of those who got these masks didn't die well...... Most of them die in an accident. ”

"Cursed Kamen ......"

Fujino glanced at the masks displayed around the room and pinned his chin.

Although Xiao Hei who is about to do it is him, he is indeed about to die.

In a way, these masks are a bit sinister.

In fact, if you think about it, neither a jeweler nor a banker is a good bird.

They were killed, presumably a matter of probability.

It's just that it just happened to get a mask and attracted attention.

Thinking of this, Fujino asked Su Fang Hongzi with a hint of deep meaning: "But then again, Miss Su Fang, the power of one mask is so great, if you collect these two hundred masks, aren't you afraid of being cursed to death?" ”

"Haha, Detective Fujino can rest assured that since he dares to collect these masks, I must have a means of insurance......"

Su Fanghongzi chuckled, thinking that Fujino was caring about herself, "Actually, after getting these masks, I have asked a powerful psychic master to seal all these masks, and the structure of this villa is prepared to seal these masks." ”

"I see......"

Fujino echoed and smiled.

A soothsayer, a magician, or something, he could still believe it.

As for the psychic man......

Do you really think this is a corpse picker?

Well, this stupid old lady was definitely fooled and lame by the magic stick.

"Fuyuya, why are you so late today?"

At this time, Su Fanghongzi suddenly greeted.

Fujino looked back and saw a golden retriever walk in with a letter in his hand: "I'm on a national tour right now...... Just spare me if you're a little late......"

He recognized at a glance who this golden retriever was, it was another Xiao Hei, the son of the female assistant who was killed that year, Lanchuan Dongya.

"By the way, Mr. Su Fang, our detective agency has received a strange letter for you."

Lan Chuan Dongya took a letter and handed it to Su Fanghongzi, "There is no sender's name on it, and the handwriting is very suspicious." ”

"It's ...... Faith Again"

Su Fanghongzi opened the envelope, glanced at the contents on it, and complained: "Who is playing pranks?" ”

"Miss Su Fang, do you need my help to investigate?"

Hearing this, Fujino turned to Su Fanghongzi and asked.

"This doesn't bother Detective Fujino...... Ever since I decided to hold a charity gala, there has been a steady stream of threats, and I don't have to worry about it. ”

Su Fanghongzi smiled, satisfied with Fujino's reaction.

Well, another silly boy has been fooled by her hypocritical mask.

I have to say that she is really a powerful acting school......

"Is that so?"

Fujino really feels a little regretful, after all, people are dying, and now to accept the commission, you only need to ask for money in advance, and that is a net profit.

…………

After a lively dinner, it was already late, and it was gradually entering the night.

Fine snow gradually rises in the sky, and the brightly lit villas stand out in the dark forests of the suburbs.

As soon as he finished dinner, Fujino was called by Su Fanghongzi alone to the living room on the third floor on the west side.

In the living room, the decoration is extraordinarily gorgeous.

Fujino sat on the single sofa, his eyes swaying slightly, touching and turning on the recording function of the visual enhancement eye, and looking around.

And Su Fanghongzi sat elegantly on an expensive sofa, holding a red wine glass, and said to Fujino: "Detective Fujino, I want to ask you to help investigate a matter." ”

"Ask me to investigate something?"

Fujino raised his head and glanced at Su Fanghongzi: "What is it, can you talk about it?" ”

"That's ......"

Su Fanghongzi took a sip of red wine, as if to cover up her guilt: "If you can, I would like to ask you to investigate the traffic accident that caused the death of Mr. Katagiri's wife." ”

"Mrs. Katagiri was in a traffic accident?"

Fujino's eyes narrowed slightly, but she knew in her heart that she was going to investigate the cause of the traffic accident.

At the dinner table just now, Masanori Katagiri mentioned his wife who died in a car accident twenty years ago.

Su Fanghongzi was stunned after hearing key words such as car accidents twenty years ago.

I remembered the woman I was killed by my car twenty years ago.

The reason why she wanted to entrust Fujino to investigate this matter was to confirm whether the person she killed was Masanori Katagiri's wife.

If that's the case, it's just a coincidence......

It seems that this old lady wearing a hypocritical mask also knows that her heart is weak.

In that case, then he's not welcome.

There is no need for this kind of person to abide by professional qualities.

Direct Bright Blackmail...... Talented.

Thinking of this, Fujino took a deep breath and leaned on the backrest of the backrest, looking a little embarrassed: "If it was the accident of Mr. Katagiri's wife twenty years ago, it would be a little difficult...... After all, twenty years have long been wrong, and there are no useful clues. ”

"Is that so?"

Su Fanghongzi's eyes froze when she heard this, and she pretended to be lost, "That's really a pity......

But in her heart, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The detective in front of him can't do it, and no one else can do it.

If that's the case, she will be able to sit back and relax in that accident.

She thought so in her heart, but Fujino's next words knocked her to the bottom:

"It's difficult, but for me, it's just a bit of a problem......

Fujino pretended to think for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "I have a unique opinion on the investigation of the events of so many years ago, but if you entrust the money, it may cost four million yen more, and you will need to pay it first. ”

After a pause, Fujino continued to look at her meaningfully, "Miss Su Fang, you don't ...... Ahem. ”

Almost showed off the old craft.

It's not good when things get clear.

Fujino coughed lightly and continued, "Miss Su Fang, can you understand what I mean? ”

"Four million yen ......"

Su Fanghongzi was stunned when she heard this, and felt that this detective kid had something to say.

Four million yen, which is the same as the endorsement fee that was not paid before.

Don't...... What did this detective find?

Or did you investigate everything?

The current word......

Isn't it blackmailing her?

Thinking of this, Su Fanghongzi suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on her back.

But after thinking about it, since the other party is a detective, she is too naïve to want to get by.

But I really didn't expect that the seemingly kind and selfless detective.

Behind the scenes, it's actually like this.

Su Fanghongzi sneered in her heart.

Sure enough, people are hypocritical creatures wearing masks.

Thinking of this, although her face was still a little gloomy, she still nodded and agreed: "In that case, I will let Inada pay the commission fee later, I hope that Detective Fujino can investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible...... Be confidential. ”

"To do things for customers, of course, you have to keep it secret."

Fujino also nodded, looking professional, squinting his eyes slightly, with a sly smile on his face.

"Then please Detective Fujino."

Su Fanghongzi's complexion did not change.

She naturally knew that the other party was blackmailing herself, but she didn't say it explicitly.

However, since the other party has agreed to settle the matter with money, it means that a community of interests has been reached......

If she is exposed, the other party will not be much better.

Perhaps, we can continue to cooperate and share the spoils in the future......

- But how did she know that there would be no future after tonight......

"Today is a good day~Alas, a good day~"

Fujino hummed a little song, received four million yen, and looked at himself [12.68 million] in a particularly happy mood.

Although the four million is what he deserves, in fact, no matter what, it will not be delivered, just a blank check.

Now that it's in hand, it's the real money.

In short, make a lot of money!

Wait until you kill someone, and make another million on the spot.

He came to the window of the living room where everyone was resting, looked at the falling snow outside the window, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself: "It's snowing, it's a good day to kill people......

"What's so much fun?"

At this moment, a slight soft voice came from behind itself.

Fujino turned his head to look, and saw Gray Yuan Ai wearing a black loli skirt, walking slowly over and asking curiously.

"Nothing...... I just had some happy things. ”

Fujino chuckled, lowered his body and explained in a low voice, "I just received a big order. ”

Well, you don't have to do anything, you prostitute four million for nothing.

"Big order?"

Gray Yuan didn't ask much.

Because she knew that even if she asked, Fujino would not say it out of detective ethics.

She thought about it, leaned into Fujino's ear, and whispered, "I feel that there is something wrong with that Su Fanghongzi......"
